GIGABYTE Extreme OC Workshop under way in Australia, wrestling crocodiles, riding kangaroos and breaking some world records at OCAU Meet 2013!

TeamAU, GIGABYTE and Corsair have joined forced to show off the latest Intel Z87 platform to some of the best overclockers in Australia. They’ve joined the yearly OCAU HWBOT team gathering up in Cairns, Far North Queensland.

Cairns is in tropical part of Australia so even though it’s currently winter over there, the boys are wearing shorts and hitting the swimming pool. TeamAU is helping cool the climate however with ridiculous amounts of LN2 being used at the moment lol.

Here are a few photos from the event which is currently under way.

Lovely weather up in Cairns
